Multiple Sylvan centers close in Twin Cities

FOX 9 reports several Sylvan Learning centers in the Twin Cities shut down ahead of the school year, with Maple Grove and Burnsville locations evicted for unpaid rent and only Edina and Coon Rapids still operating under franchise owner Paul Ripon. Parents who paid thousands of dollars—some financed through Comenity Capital Bank—say sessions were repeatedly canceled or unavailable; Sylvan’s national office says it is working to help impacted customers find services elsewhere.
